The short answer

The closest alternative to the Impossible Watch Company IMP Time-Only is the Asterisk Watches Charley Harper Turtleneck ($395) — shared caliber (Miyota 82S0) and Visually similar. If price is the constraint, the Ajwain Watches DEVI - A Tribute to Divine Strength at $180 (vs $495 for the IMP Time-Only) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Impossible Watch Company IMP Chronograph is the standout microbrand take — same family (IMP) and Visually similar. Stepping up, the Beaucroft Watches Contour GMT ($1,067) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
